Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation to prioritize capability gaps, the operation comprising determining, for each of a plurality of business objectives, a weighted effectiveness, criticality, and differentiation (ECD) score, and determining operation of one or more processors, a priority value for each of a plurality of capability gaps based on: (i) the weighted ECD score of each business objective, and (ii) a degree of support the respective capability gap provides towards fulfilling each business objective, wherein each priority value reflects a degree of importance of a capability subject to the respective capability gap.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 - 7 . (canceled)
8 . A system, comprising:
a computer processor; and a memory containing a program which, when executed by the processor, performs an operation to prioritize capability gaps, the operation comprising:
determining, for each of a plurality of business objectives, a weighted effectiveness, criticality, and differentiation (ECD) score; and
determining a priority value for each of a plurality of capability gaps based on: (i) the weighted ECD score of each business objective, and (ii) a degree of support the respective capability gap provides towards fulfilling each business objective, wherein each priority value reflects a degree of importance of a capability subject to the respective capability gap.
9 . The system of claim 8 , the operation further comprising:
generating a graphical user interface (GUI) conveying the respective priority value for each capability gap; and outputting the GUI for display.
10 . The system of claim 8 , the operation further comprising:
receiving capability data for each of a plurality of capabilities, wherein the capability data comprises current levels and desired levels of fulfillment of each of the capabilities; and identifying the plurality of capability gaps based on differences between the current levels and desired levels with fulfillment of each of the capabilities.
11 . The system of claim 8 , the operation further comprising:
receiving, for each business objective, an effectiveness value, a criticality value, and a differentiation value determined according to a first predefined equation comprising:

13 . The system of claim 8 , the operation further comprising:
receiving, for each capability, support values indicative of the degree of support the respective capability gap provides towards fulfilling each business objective.
14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the capabilities comprise information technology (IT) capabilities.
15 . A computer program product to prioritize capability gaps, comprising:
a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code comprising:
computer-readable program code configured to determine, for each of a plurality of business objectives, a weighted effectiveness, criticality, and differentiation (ECD) score; and
computer-readable program code configured to determine a priority value for each of a plurality of capability gaps based on: (i) the weighted ECD score of each business objective, and (ii) a degree of support the respective capability gap provides towards fulfilling each business objective, wherein each priority value reflects a degree of importance of a capability subject to the respective capability gap.
16 . The computer program product of claim 15 , further comprising:
computer-readable program code configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) conveying the respective priority value for each capability gap; and computer-readable program code configured to output the GUI for display.
17 . The computer program product of claim 15 , further comprising:
computer-readable program code configured to receive capability data for each of a plurality of capabilities, wherein the capability data comprises current levels and desired levels of fulfillment of each of the capabilities; and computer-readable program code configured to identify the plurality of capability gaps based on differences between the current levels and desired levels with fulfillment of each of the capabilities.
18 . The computer program product of claim 15 , further comprising:
computer-readable program code configured to receive, for each business objective, an effectiveness value, a criticality value, and a differentiation value determined according to a first predefined equation comprising:
